> Something I've seen from speaking with a lot of people with overuse injuries is that what activates a person's injury tends to vary a lot.

In hindsight this really makes sense. Mine was most likely activated by combination of low-profile keyboard and finnish keyboard layout (almost all programming related special characters are behind right alt combinations). So it's not suprise that all reaching motions are not good.

Kinect depth sensor has really low resolution (640x480, if I remember correctly) which is way too low if you want to interpret precisely small movements. I also was interested about Kinect for exactly same purpose, but those specs were too "meh". For this reason I have been waiting for Leap to be released since its announcement.
